Retirement is an incredibly important milestone in a worker’s life.

That’s why it’s heartbreaking to learn that the goal posts have been moved for someone.

An 80-year-old man from Texas identified as Mr. James had retired sometime ago.

Let’s help Mr. James out!

Hey guys Im having a fundraiser for our janitor who is struggling to pay his rent.

He had to leave retirement to continue to pay his rent that was raised.

Just a little will change his life!!

Thurman wrote on February 15, not knowing how far their efforts would go.

With their efforts, they’ve reached more than enough to set Mr. James for life.

You all have made a huge impact on him that will forever change his life.

Thurman agreed: Nobody deserves to work their whole life.

They deserve to enjoy everything.
